Top 5 Music Venues in Wisconsin

413 2nd St, Hudson, WI 54016, United States

“Came here for a lunch and the sandwiches we had were pretty middling. We happened to enjoy the fries more than the sandwiches. We had to ask the server about our food as we waited over half an hour for two basic sandwiches. I would give the review three stars but I think two is more adequate because there are much better restaurants in Hudson to try out.”

“Update: We returned and again enjoyed our show. I know we're going back again. We had an excellent evening watching one of our favorite comics. This was our first time to this comedy club. It was well organized, and signage was clear about where to go and what the next step was when entering. The staff checked us in and asked if it was our first time. They gave us the rundown and explained what we needed to know. We purchased a package that included drinks and snacks. This was explained well by the excellent server we had. It was packed, but the vibe was relaxed. The drinks were good, but skip the pretzels. I don't have high expectations for food at a comedy club, so I give them a pass on this area. The popcorn was great. Our service was excellent!! The server was attentive and kind. Random things to note are that the ladies' room has only 3 stalls, so there was a wait. Parking was less than ideal. There's a small lot and the rest is on the street. But, these are just limitations of the building. We are definitely going back!”

“5/5 — A fun spot! If you’re looking for something different in MKE with cozy, chill vibes and great staff then this is it. There’s a cover fee at the door ($12 cash or card) for jazz night. Drinks were delicious. I’d highly recommend the experience!”

1025 Owen St, Lake Mills, WI 53551, United States

“Nice brewery, great beer, live music on summer weekends with a nice outdoor space. Lots of native perennials add color to the outdoor seating space. A food cart has also been there the times we've been there for live music. Family friendly - nice place to hang out on a summer night.”

1224 Williamson St, Madison, WI 53703, United States

“It's a very unique place. It's not high tempo , very low key, chill, chess & checkers vibe. I got tequila lemonade and that was good. One bartender was short with us, one was very informative and friendly. It did have live music and at a good volume.”

4056 Lake Creek Rd, Rhinelander, WI 54501, United States

“Nice chill bar with a great atmosphere and great music. Staff was fun and friendly. The pizza was good along with the Mac bites. Will be back and look forward to trying new food and drinks. Also right on the lake so can make a day of it if you want.”

1132 E Wright St, Milwaukee, WI 53212, United States

“Neighborhood bar, popular with young folks. Live music sometimes and two pool tables in the back. Patio open during warm months. They don't serve food, just drinks. Proprietor is a swell guy”

6818 W North Ave, Wauwatosa, WI 53213, United States

“Stopped in for a few drinks and a quick bite to eat. The bartender was very disengaged and was very inattentive during my visit. She was constantly on her phone and didn't anticipate any of my needs. I constantly had to wave her down to get drinks. It was a bad service experience overall. The Tait burger and nachos I got there were well prepared and tasted good though. The atmosphere was also fun and festive. I may check out again in hopes of better service.”

300 Progress Dr Suite F, Cottage Grove, WI 53527, United States

“Great venue and location with plenty of seating and a playground that’s fenced in for the kids! We love places that are kid friendly! They have an awesome cocktail menu with a variety of flavored liqueurs. The XXX and Jessica’s Spicy Melon’s were delicious. The bartender was also great and super friendly, we came in within an hour of closing and she was more than willing to help us grab a drink and a bag of chips for the beer garden! We cannot wait to come back!”

633 W Wisconsin Ave, Appleton, WI 54911, United States

“Cozy bar with friendly staff. Welcoming and accomodating to visiting bands. Great art provided by local artist.”

2246 S Kinnickinnic Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207, United States

“Friends were at Topper's eating something called pizza, and I couldn't handle their lack of culinary discretion, so I stopped in at Revel next door. I celebrate Milwaukee's diversity. Revel was evidently popular with Milwaukee's African-American population. The bar brought back memories of my high school days in NYC, and I loved the music. While he asked for my identification, the bouncer joked with me, saw I was more than five decades over the drinking age, and told me to put the ID away, and he helped me order a drink. Everyone was warm, and several people even complimented me on my fedora. I only had one drink because my friends were afraid to come in. That's Milwaukee's problem. Fear prevents us from getting along. I accept and appreciate diversity, color, and ethnic heritage. That's America, people. We are all different. Enjoy the mosaic.”

“My family and I went to Elemnt for my birthday. It was packed and over crowded which is understandable because it was Saturday. The minute we stepped in the door we were met with attitudes and hostile energy. I brushed it off thinking they might be overwhelmed with people, which again understandable. I also manage a restaurant downtown so I am fully aware of the downtown life and wnviorment. Throughout the night the security guard were giving bad energy and trying to single us out as if we were breaking the rules. It was very weird animosity and by the end of the night I was over it and was ready to head back to the car. While leaving the club the 6’7 300 lb female security guard hit me in my mouth for no reason while still half way through the day. After she hit me the male security proceeded to try to jump me, a 23 year old female, which turned into a brawl with the rest of family. This behavior is totally unacceptable and unprofessional. I know the procedure for training when dealing with drunk people or even trying to find a solution to any problem that became aware to the employees of the club. Which also came to a suprise is after the fight was over, the club owner also proceeded to try to fight my party. I have already reported the club to the city of milwaukee for harrassment and discrimination. Once again I am a manager for a very well known restaurant and do not plan to take this lightly. I do not recommend this club to anybody for the safety of their family.”
